Abstract: Multicast group communication over mobile ad hoc networks has various challenges related to secure data transmission. In order to achieve this goal, there is a need to authenticate the group member as well as it is essential to protect the application data, routing information, and other network resources etc. Multicast-AODV (MAODV) is the extension of an AODV protocol, and there are several issues related to each multicast network operation. In the case of dynamic group behavior, it becomes more challenging to protect the resources of a particular group. Researchers have developed different solutions to secure multicast group communication, and their proposed solutions can be used for resource protection at different layers i.e. application layer, physical layer, network layer, etc. Each security solution can guard against a particular security threat. This research paper introduced a self-organized hash based secure routing scheme for multicast ad hoc networks. It uses group Diffie-Hellman method for key distribution. Route authentication and integrity, both are ensured by generating local flag codes and global hash values. In the case of any violation, route log is monitored to identify the malicious activities.
